Aeon Command

Aeon Command is at face value an RTS, but really, it plays more like a simple soldier attack/tower defense game where the objective is to pump out units faster than the enemy and that's it. For some reason the whole map is just a long thin rectangle with a player at each end, because the developer wanted this to seem like a "tug of war". Kinda like taking a game like Deus Ex and turning it into a cover shooter. Did RTS games need to be dumbed down? There's an upgrade tree, different units, harvesting... but all the strategy and maneuvering elements are missing. As a result... it's just not fun. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game doesn't correctly account for modern PC displays, UI scaling isn't handled correctly. As a result of this unfortunate decision, text and UI elements don't display at a reasonable size, it's too small to be legible on most modern gaming PCs, and there's no in-game controls or options to correct this. This can render the game unplayable for many. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Aeon Command has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for completing the first "Alliance" tutorial campaign, trivial to achieve, but less than 10 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 10 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who weren't even playing the game? Trading cards. Players will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game. That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards. Aeon Command is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

Fun little game. Feels like an RTS on rails. If you are looking for something brainless but still want to scratch your strategy itch Aeon Command will work. With multiplayer you can get some replay ability but the campaign alone is worth playing. There is also skrimish mode, I will leave it up to you how far you go with that. It tracks your wins vs losses, so it feels competitive even if its not. Aeon Command comes across as a competitive RTS in the form of a casual simulator. You can feel like a pro with out much effort. You can tell its a mobile port just based on the tap bonus mechanic. You are gonna play Aeon Command because you want a break from your main game. Its not trying overly hard to be a PC game, its just really good at pretending to be an online PC game and thats the charm.

Commands fly like in space every level is a strategist’s challenge and I still don’t know who’s the grand admiral here.
